CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns a lien claim filed by Advance Care Specialist Medical Clinic (ACSMC) for services provided to an injured worker. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied ACSMC's petition for reconsideration, affirming a prior order that barred the lien as untimely filed under Labor Code section 4903.5(a). The majority found that since the last date of service was September 23, 2013, after the July 1, 2013 amendment, the 18-month filing limitation applied, and ACSMC's August 19, 2015 filing was too late. The dissenting opinion argued that for continuously provided services spanning before and after July 1, 2013, the three-year limitation should apply to avoid requiring multiple lien filings and prevent absurd results.
